I have one of these. Picked it up for $6 at a liquidation store, thinking "at that price, what can I lose?"

The steel is a bit soft. It will take a usable edge, but won't hold it like better steels do.

I used this knife to teach my nephew how to use a baton to cut branches this summer. So it is reasonably sturdy, and not brittle like a kitchen knife.

The exposed steel at the front and rear of the handle is a potential blister-maker. I rounded off all that stuff with an angle grinder.

I wouldn't choose it as my "first line" cutting tool in a survival situation. But on the other hand, it's a passable backup tool.

And I like having a spare, disposable knife to do some of the really cruddy jobs (thus saving my main blade for actual cutting). Baton/chisel work, scraper, cutting sod, digging "cat sanitation" holes, etc.
